NXTCue Disclaimer
=================

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS SOFTWARE.


General
-------
NXTCue is provided by NXTCue ("we", "us") for use at your own risk.
By installing, activating, or using NXTCue, you agree to the terms in
this disclaimer.


No warranty
-----------
NXTCue is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any
kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or
non-infringement.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, error-free performance,
compatibility with every system configuration, or successful track
detection in every DJ application or playback scenario.


AI recommendations
--------------------
Recommendations are generated by third-party AI services that you
configure in the application. Suggestions are informational only.

You are solely responsible for evaluating recommendations before use in
a live performance, broadcast, recording, or any other context. NXTCue
does not guarantee BPM accuracy, harmonic compatibility, licensing
clearance, audience suitability, or mixing quality.


Third-party services and API keys
---------------------------------
Recommendations require your own Tinker or OpenAI API key. You are
responsible for:

- obtaining and securing your API credentials
- complying with the provider's terms of use
- any fees, quotas, or usage limits imposed by the provider

We are not responsible for third-party service outages, policy changes,
model behavior, or billing.


Track detection limitations
---------------------------
NXTCue relies on macOS media metadata, Accessibility APIs where required,
and supported read-only local metadata sources. Detection may fail or be
delayed when:

- no track is actively playing
- another application owns the active media session
- Accessibility permission is missing or stale
- a DJ application does not expose usable metadata
- network or local data sources are unavailable or incomplete

Do not rely on NXTCue as the sole source of truth for identifying the
currently playing track.


Software compatibility
----------------------
NXTCue is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple,
Spotify, Serato, rekordbox, VirtualDJ, djay Pro, Mixxx, OpenAI, Thinking
Machines, Gumroad, or any other third-party product named in the
application.


Licensing
---------
Use of NXTCue requires a valid purchased license. One license seat may
be active on one Mac at a time unless otherwise stated in your purchase
terms. Reverse engineering, redistribution, or circumvention of
activation controls is prohibited except where allowed by applicable law.


Privacy and data handling
-------------------------
NXTCue may transmit:

- license activation and validation data to the NXTCue activation server
- current-track metadata and recommendation settings to your selected AI
  provider

Temporary audio samples used for optional local Essentia analysis remain
on your computer and are deleted after analysis. Audio is not uploaded
to AI providers by NXTCue.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of NXTCue complies with
applicable privacy laws and the policies of any services you connect.


Limitation of liability
-----------------------
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, NXTCue and its
suppliers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special,
consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data,
goodwill, business interruption, performance opportunities, or other
intangible losses arising from your use of or inability to use NXTCue,
even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
